The psychologist reveals how Ozempic can affect a person’s sexual desire and how it is related to the reward system.
Now people use Ozempic to manage weight, but manufacturers say that they are actually prescribed as GLP-1 medicine for adults suffering from type 2 diabetes.
Novo Nordisk said in Ladbible Group that Ozempic is a prescription drug and a medical professional should be prescribed under a strict supervision.
Well, when it works, when Ozempic is in your blood flow, it basically reduces appetite and ‘food noise’.
Then the drug stabilizes blood sugar and suppresses craving, which makes it more abundant for a long time.
Reducing food intake and exercising more to lose weight.
But common side effects can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and constipation.
Common side effects, such as changes in muscle strength, are less common side effects, but some users are walking on Ozempic butt and ‘Bedroom side effects’.
‘Sex drive lack’ while in Ozempic
Some have reported ‘lack of sexual desire’ during Ozempic (Getty Stock Images).
In Reddit, one man insisted: “The only side effect that causes problems in life is that there is no sex drive at all.
“I have the same feelings as I have when I have a big meal.
“If I am single, this actually does not have a big impact on my life, but I live with a boyfriend of about 2.5 years, and the rapid decline in sex life is causing problems in our relationship.”
Sex drive ‘side effects’ have been explained
The psychologist reveals how Ozempic can affect his personal desire (getty store).
NYU Grossman School of Medicine, a physiologist and professor, Rachel Goldman PHD, Sayed Purewow that taking ozempic may lack general ‘interest’.
“What we know is that GLP-1 affects the brain’s compensation center, so there is little food noise, long craving, and less interest in using alcohol. There is also a reason why it can affect sexual desire.”
She pointed out that it is difficult to judge whether the sexual desire is directly changing among the patients.
But Goldman believes that changes in desire can cause imbalance in their relationship.
For example, any partner has not been very interested in sex before, and one partner’s sexual desire suddenly increases, and in Ozempic, the other can feel excluded.
Novo Nordisk, which manufactures Ozempic, said before: “Patient safety is most important to Novo Nordisk, and patients are recommended to take these drugs under the approved indications and supervision of medical professionals.
“We continue to collect safety data for the sold GLP-1 pharmaceuticals and work closely with the authorities to ensure the safety of the patient. As part of this work, we continue to monitor reports on adverse drug reactions through everyday drug inspection.
“We have patients who experience side effects while taking GLP-1 RA drugs, including Wegovy and Semaglutide Injection (Semaglutide Injection), patients who experience side effects with medical service providers MHRA Yellow Card System. “
Ladbible Group contacted Novo Nordisk for further opinions.
